Day -665. WorldCup2018
Brazil play Germany in the Olympic football final on Saturday. Revenge for the 1-7 in 2014? The players will say no. Even Neymar who missed that match will probably go on about how this is a new match, and they can't dwell on the past, and all the usual lines that are fed to the media. But what we all know is that all those Brazilians want to give the Germans a good hiding. Redemption is needed. And for no-one more than Neymar who was helplessly injured in 2014. It may only be the Olympics but it is football and what matters more than that in Brazil? And Brazil have never won Olympic football gold.
Whatever psychological angle you believe I think if you are reading this you should watch it. It'll be a goody. I can almost guarantee it. Saturday, 10.30pm in Europe, 9.30pm in the U.K., 4.30pm on the East Coast of North America, 3.30pm if you're lucky enough to be in Rio and at some other time to be calculated by yourself if you are somewhere else in the world.
I cannot remember an Olympic final that will be watched like this one.
